1 Timothy 5:11
Douay-Rheims
But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry:
George Leo Haydock
As for the younger widows, [4] admit them not into that number; for when they have grown wanton in Christ, which may signify in the Church of Christ, or as others translate, against Christ; when they have been nourished in plenty, indulging their appetite in eating and drinking, in company and conversation, in private familiarities, and even sometimes in sacrilegious fornications against Christ and their vows, they are for marrying again. See St. Jerome. (Witham)
